I think that scripting in ofp should be simplified like Microsoft Windows simplifies DOS. "POINT AND CLICK INTERFACE." There should be a point and click interface that covers all the scripting in the game without the player having to memorize anything. A 5 year old should be able to script an entire cutscene, a helicopter landing and pickup sequence, enemies dropping their weapons when you arrive, music played in an object, all without having to manipulate files or download tutorials, and all compliments of an easy to use point and click interface. I'm talking paradropping extra equipment, calling in bombings, calling in evacs, calling in mortar support, kinda like that one addon. I'm talking everything that can be done in the game should require no typing whatsoever. It should all be simple point and click. Focus on "point and click interface" and everything should work out fine.

Let's talk about enemy ai that peek around corners with their guns and fire at you. Let's talk about if there's a helicoptor on the map somewhere and the enemy ai has a radio man they can call in an emergency evacuation and you can actually hear their voices screaming it out. Let's talk about enemy ai that when they retreat they pick up their injured partners over their shoulder or drag them off. Let's talk about enemy ai that toss grenades around corners without looking. Hell, we would be talking about medal of honor but I'd like to see this in ofp. Let's talk about a ladder slide animation and I know IGI did it first but sometimes in order to make a great game you have to borrow ideas from other ones and can't let anyone stop you. Let's talk about being able to crouch even when you don't have a weapon. That's very necessary. Let's talk about the vulnerability of actually climbing a ladder and having to wait to put the gun in your hand once you reach the top before you can shoot because that's a big problem for me. I say that once the guy reaches close to the top of the ladder he automatically pulls his gun out and slings it under his shoulder or something or at least make it so that wherever you aim the mouse the gun points in that direction as well as your head. I'm talking about while climbing a ladder. Let's talk about how when I climb a ladder and hit the E key for turbo my guy doesn't climb faster. For a U.S. soldier he doesn't climb fast enough in the first place.

BIS team, I understand this is your first foray into major gaming so I'm going to be easy here. Let's talk about when a soldier drops his gun during combat. he doesn't just lay it down. He'll toss it. That's with any object. I mean the interface clearly says "drop weapon" so what's he laying it down for? There should be two options for giving commands by the leader. One option should be by his voice. The other option should be over his radio. Now if he's using his radio to give a command then his voice should still be heard. If he's giving a command over a radio then everyone with a radio will hear him. Let's say you do make a pull out radio animation. If you do what Lucas Arts does and have damage zones even on guns then when the radio is shot he loses contact with his squad because the radio is then damaged.

I'm going to mention the physics that actually play an essential part in combat. Let's talk about how when you sprint it takes about three seconds to slow down rather than coming to a (very unfair in mp games) complete halt, lest you stub your toes on the insides of your boots. Let's talk about how when you run into a wall real fast you end up hurting yourself. Let's talk about how when a building gets hit by a tank round the house doesn't crumple like paper. See WW2 images of houses that have been hit by tank rounds. I think that the game should detect whether or not an apache or airborne something or other is about to hit a building on its way down and like in those strategy games there's a preprogrammed animation on the way down that leads the trajectory of the helo and the animation done to the house. So like the game detects where the helo will land then programs loads the animation for the thing when it hits, the explosion, who gets injured, etc. Let's talk about when two cars collide that there's usually two very messed up cars and they don't just pass through each other. Let's talk about how when an object is on top of another object and the bottom object moves the top one does too.

While we're on about music problems I'm using this typing script that shows the words being typed across the screen during my intro for my mission but I want a beep to play for every change in the text just like in the movies. So far I've been able to make the text look like its being typed but I can't seem to get the dang thing to beep. If you take a look at what I'm doing you can see that I'm using the (playsound "beep") code in my words.sqs file but the beeps are just not going off. If you help me and it works, I'll tell you about it. playsound "beep" TitleText["|","PLAIN DOWN",0.1] ~0.15 playsound "beep" TitleText["|","PLAIN DOWN",0.1] ~0.15 playsound "beep" TitleText["|","PLAIN DOWN",0.1] ~0.15 playsound "beep" TitleText["2|","PLAIN DOWN",0.1] ~0.15 playsound "beep" TitleText["21|","PLAIN DOWN",0.1] ~0.15 playsound "beep" TitleText["210|","PLAIN DOWN",0.1] ~0.15 playsound "beep" TitleText["2100|","PLAIN DOWN",0.1] ~0.15 playsound "beep" TitleText["2100 W|","PLAIN DOWN",0.1] ~0.15 playsound "beep" TitleText["2100 We|","PLAIN DOWN",0.1] ~0.15

It's perfect as it is now get back on track Badgerboy.

Oy. Don't try to throw "we" in your sentence to throw me off of you. My point is that you can't preemptively bust everyone to live in a safer world. I don't care if you don't like that or not.

That's why America was formed. You prejudiced, preemptive, intolerant people across the ocean think that you're on a pedastool, granting yourself rights and taking them from everyone else. Think about it. If you were smart you'd know that you can't preemptively bust everything. Sometimes you just have to wait for things to eventually happen, then rely on police. Vigilante dork. Stick to ofp.

All that you said about the only people that carry guns are criminals or gangs is prejudice to gun owners, Americans, and the right to bear arms. I know that plenty of gun owners here in Arizona carry guns to go hunting, sport shooting, or are collectors. Busted!

In OFP2 I'd like to see better physics, more imagination, and more creativity.

This is going to hurt some of you more than it hurts me but that bit about kids being kidnapped and made into soldiers, that's bull. It's very outlandish. I can't see something like that happening and I believe you can't prove it so where did you come up with that, hmmm? Feel free not to answer if you're wrong.

I hope that the armed vehicle and the ship will be completed to the highest standards. That rifle that comes with the weapon pack has a grenade launcher that doesn't fire far enough.

Hmmm. Now thats something noone ever thought of with those two white glowing dots on either side. Nice attention to detail, now I can aim it at night in "realistic" mode where I'm not using a reticule. Very thoughtful Inquisitor.

Looking at those African children with guns, I don't think they're forced to fight if there is any similarity between us them as kids. They know what goes on in the world. They know kids somewhere else in the world must be wanting to play soldier too and are having more fun, so they figure why should they suffer more? They come to the elders and want to do something fun like play soldier but theres a war going on that the elders have gotten themselves into. They can't give him much else but a "spot". "Spot" makes it all seem like a sport or fun but its not. Even worse than that is the Democratic party dumbing down education because they're afraid that since a Republican was responsible for freeing the slaves then all the blacks will want to be Republicans. Meh. Clinton was a good Democrat though. I'd vote for him again.... Where was I, heh? Oh yeah, crime and fear are personal options. Sometimes the pressure of both can be overwhelming based on the situation. We as men who live in the United States have begun taking it upon ourselves to eliminate these problems. This is our government, our game. We run it. The president doesn't get up on CNN and say "Well, God told me that we should help people deal with problems rather than try to eliminate them so I want you all to..." No. We can choose one or the other. This government was built for options. All voices will be heard, and changes will be made.

I might have to watch Heat, the Professional, some other stuff like that to figure out what to do with these. I like cop movies.

Can't you just imagine the excitement from playing a mission where you fastrope into danger. For more immersion let the ai pick their own targets. Also the gunner can use third person view now and alert the pilot when a missile comes in so he can activate the flares. The player who is pilot could even encircle the area firing down on targets, picking up soldiers and taking them to various points on the map upon request. Players who seperate into different roles can all have fun at the same time!

Yes, you may upload the pack. No splash screen. I just want it to be a pack of organized addons, not extra load time or anything liike that. I like what you did with organizing them under the editor though. Less is more.

I hope its some other war that the U.S. has fought in like the Bay of Pigs invasion which took place in Panama.

Who cares? What's a special reaction team anyways?

It's almost just what I've been asking for. I want a massive multiplayer thing like this. More like ww2 online modern but this looks good. I think I'll get it when it goes retail.

I favor the Republican party more. I do think, however, that this amendment is a good idea because Clinton has the right idea on how to run this government. If we could have Clinton back again I think I would be most pleased. This could be a very good evolution to our Government. In my vast imagination the only way I could see this being a problem is if people with guns would be standing at the polls deciding who can vote and who cannot. Since we all can freely vote without opposition there should be no conspiracy unless of course you're the person behind the desk rigging the elections, or some hacker, or some very corrupt small town that only sends out the voting announcement in the mail to a certain group of people but with all the news stations that won't happen. I honestly believe that even the poor should be able to vote. If they first tighten up the way that the votes are counted, make sure its safe, and fail-proof, then noone would be able to rig the elections. Then I'd go vote Clinton. lol. I am in favor. I am in favor.

Captain Moore are you still working on this addon?

Okay ruff. You want that, start another thread. I'd be glad to post about some CIA units there.
